D'zan 6 boxes of stun
Leo nada

Reposting from earlier so people don't have to dig through the thread.

All
The AR map is laid out with pinpoints for Greenstreets, Electron Skies, Jazz Nights, and a double star on Casanova. A broad stretch of Downtown is cloaked in red shading. Most of the sights are nightclubs and restaurants--Casanova is a casino, stylized in a 1920s mystique along with a smoking room library. The red shading covers all of the hot spots and is Horizon's latest civil improvement--the Automated Crime Prevention System.

In Studio City, you see UCLA tagged for a large library, and the corporate arcologies for Horizon and Aztechnology.

Fenris--To answer the call for damage, Papa also has 3 boxes of Physical from kicking the spirit. (No one magicked/treated Papa since he wasn't on death's door)

All--With the amount of stun people have (and the fact that it's the middle of the night), I'd recommend that the crew rests for awhile. Unleash some agents, spirits with Search, cleaning/construction drones, etc. and rest until a civilized hour for calling contacts. As a reminder, Edge will refresh when everyone gets a chance to rest and the scene changes.

Also, please be aware that Physical Damage requires a full day's rest without any stun damage to make the test to heal.

Papa: Stun = 0; Physical = 3

Heading out of town for the weekend but will be back in the afternoon on Sunday. Going to heal Papa then.

BishopMcQ I emailed an updated version of my character to you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Ok group do we have an idea of where we want to strike out first? If no idea than I nominate Fenris/Argent to pick one so we can move forward.

Awakened Members we never named our Magical Group - suggestions or I'll just call it D'zan's Bitches. We included Sparky back when we made it - any sign of her coming in soon? I admit I would to play with her again but no pressure.

Everyone We have a loft we all share but did we ever put it somewhere and if so where the hell is it?

Heal Force 6 on Papa
14d6.hits(5)=6

Drain DV - 2: 1
14d6.hits(5)=8

Dumping the extra successes into shortening the time needed to make the healing permanent.

Sorry for not being here for a bit. I just touched down in Busan yesterday and am (hopefully) going to get the suitcase with my ethernet cable today.

Ok Leo is going to cast Fix on things in the house to help get us back up and running. I am going to leave it to the GM to tell us/me how much things get fixed because it's flavor for me and I am not interested in dragging out rolls to patch up a fridge.

D'zan is going to try and sleep off the stun damage.

Body + Willpower 1st hour
8d6.hits(5)=2

Body + Willpower 2nd hour
8d6.hits(5)=4

Ok all better.

Don't forget Oracle touched people to ask about the Smoking Mirrors please.

Alright, so it's a new day. Everyone with Stun will have had a chance to sleep it off. Physical will stay with everyone until you take some days off. If everyone wants to take a day to lay around and call contacts, send Agents out on datamining expeditions etc, that's fine.

If anyone is unclear on the process of legwork, let me know.

I vote for the day myself - to let people recover and the legwork folks do their thing.

I'm all up for that, but I recognize that I'm likely to be one of the more active people based on that.

Also, just to check that it wasn't missed, assuming Naiomi hasn't contacted me back yet?

Fenris--Not yet, though the day is still young.

All--If you are doing legwork, I'd suggest making a list of things that you want to accomplish, questions you want answered etc, then breaking it down on who/how.

Shapechange(Gorilla) at Force 3:
Magic(5) + Sorcery(4) - Allergy(2) - Phys(1) - Stun(1) = 7d6 for 2 hits.
Phys stats (Body 6+2, Agility 4+2, Reaction 5+2, Strength 5+2), Speed (15/30), Reach +1

Resist Drain: (3/2)+1 = 3
Willpower(6) + Charisma(5) + Focused Conc(1) = 12d6 for 3 hits.

Gently carrying the wounded to my room before trying to heal stun damage.

Healing stun: (3 boxes)
First hour
Body(4) + Willpower(6) = 10d6 for 4 hits. All stun is healed.

Attempting to get in touch with my contact(Street Doc) Humberto Caballero (Connection 4): Rolled a 5

I still have a box of physical damage, so I'd prefer it if we hang out for a day.

:grin: I believe that is the third time they have been put in bed, but duly noted. They are officially "on bed-rest to heal."

Since everyone seems to be voting to rest a day, roll the tests for Physical damage healing.

Fenris--Remember if Argent wants the voice in his head, he needs to touch the rock at the same time that Papa is, with the intent to carry it.

All--I still need to know what your plan is. Are there Data Searches happening, more contact calling, further travels into the great beyond, and spirits being sent out to Search? Are you going to tie the pixie to the hood and drive through downtown until he starts pointing at something?

No voice, no thanks That thing doesn't get two of us for the price of one. The fox is not down for discounts.

So, not sure what the social roll is to persuade Ms. Naiomi. Fast talk? Negotiation?

Uetz is asking if Caballero can take the wounded out of the way (and maybe wait on getting paid until I actually have some nuyen not locked into to future months' rent).

Any dice rolls I should make?

Fenris--It depends on what you want from Naiomi. Fast Talk is to lie to her or obscure facts without her noticing. Negotiation is for bargaining. Etiquette for talking as you work through things.

JxJxA--You can go straight from what you said, or if you'd rather trust to dice, roll Etiquette + Charisma. (Modifiers of + Loyalty + Street Cred -1. The + cannot be higher than your base dice pool of Skill + Stat, and Street Cred cannot be higher than Cha.)

"The Smoking Mirror" = Data Search(4) + Browse(6) + Analytical Mind(2) + Hot Sim VR(2)
[5,3,1,1,2,1,3,5,4,5,5,1,1,2] = (4)
[2,4,2,5,2,2,6,6,2,4,6,2,4] = (+4/8)
[5,6,6,6,1,6,2,4,4,6,1,3] = (+6/10)
[1,5,5,2,1,3,2,1,5,1,2] = (+3/13)
[6,4,1,6,2,4,2,6,6,5] = (+5/18)
[5,3,1,5,6,5,1,2,1] = (+4/22)
[6,4,2,3,6,3,3,5] = (+3/25)
[4,6,5,6,4,6,2] = (+4/29)
[6,4,3,4,2,2] = (+1/30)

Face recognition of the Woman = Data Search(4) + Browse(6) + Analytical Mind(2) + Hot Sim VR(2)
[4,2,5,4,3,4,3,4,4,6,1,1,5,2] = (3)
[3,5,4,3,6,3,4,2,2,3,6,4,5] = (+4/7)
[4,6,6,5,3,1,3,5,6,6,2,4] = (+6/13)
[3,3,3,4,5,3,3,4,6,6,6] = (+4/17)
[5,6,3,3,5,6,6,5,2,6] = (+7/24)
[5,3,3,3,6,3,6,5,6] = (+5/29)
[2,1,4,1,4,2,6,1] = (+1/30)
[5,2,5,4,4,3,2] = (+2/32)
[2,1,2,3,5,6] = (+2/34)
[5,6,1,5,1] = (+2/36)

I'll just go with what I said, since I'm still rocking some penalties (though hopefully the house is aired out and pollutants aren't a problem anymore). Also, I don't trust Invisible Castle. She is a fickle beast, she is.

Also, for when Uetz finally goes to sleep:

Healing Phys Dmg:
Body(4) x 2 = 8d6 for 2 hits.

So I'll be ready for action in about a day.

I'm hopping that Fenris will post on Sunday (pretty sure he was at the festival all day today).

It looks like there will be resting for a day before anything strenuous, so I need a Body + Body test from Papa Smurf, to see how much of his Physical damage will heal in the day.

There's probably some talking between your group next, since some of you have information and pictures that others don't.

Papa - Body(7) + Body(7) = dp14; Buy 3 hits to be fully healed.

Rolling Etiquette to get the ball rolling. I'm also going to post a pre-emptive Negotiation roll if it looks like it's coming down to that as part of the conversation.

Influence(5) + Cha(5) + Kinesics(1) + Trustworthy(1) (12d6.hits(5)=9)
Plus Street Cred(5) - Street Cred(5) (5d6.hits(5)=2)

Influence(5) + Cha(5) + Kinesics(1) + Trustworthy(1) + Street Cred(5) (17d6.hits(5)=3)

Hey, somebody got a knowledge skill that would cue us in to what that Automated Crime Prevention system is?

I've got LA Area:
LA Area (3) + Intuition (4) (7d6.hits(5)=0)

Well, I've got it, but it's apparently not yielding a lot of useful information. Anyone else got anything applicable?

Also, general knowledge on the locations mentioned above (Greenstreets, Electron Skies, Jazz Nights, Casanova)
Who gets in, who runs them, and what do we watch out for while we're there?
LA Area (3) + Intuition (4) (7d6.hits(5)=0, 7d6.hits(5)=4, 7d6.hits(5)=3, 7d6.hits(5)=3)

Also, I'll need whatever SIN you're going to give to Naiomi if you're coming into the archology with me. Does D'zan and Leo even bother with SIN's? I know you mentioned illusion spells or something like that at some point.

Hey Stephen, I want to tag an extra question on the end of that conversation. Am I better off flashing the fake Horizon ID for Naiomi, or the marketing wage slave from the smaller janitorial service company?

ACPS would fall under Law Enforcement, Security Systems, Procedures, etc. Area Knowledge will also provide some information..

Fenris--Probably the one you've used with Naiomi before, or the one your PITO feed is attached to. Will post the knowledge rolls this afternoon.

Intuition(4) + Police Procedures(1) + Mneumonic Enhancer(2) [5,6,2,5,1,2,5] = 4 hits

Fenris--
Greenstreets - From your previous test, you know it's in West Hollywood.
Electron Skies - A popular club amongst the beautiful people and Horizon scouts, the dance club is heavily AR enhanced. It's rumored that some of the scouts have private offices in the club, with every luxury possible. Full of glitterati and those who can fake it well enough to get past the door.
Jazz Nights - Reminiscent of a speakeasy jazz club, it's in Echo Park and has live music every night. Drinks are strong and the smoke is thick. Older members of the LA Mafia spend nights here. Popular with musicians and fans.
Casanova - Highly exclusive casino, run by the Mafia, with a who's who list of politicians, executives, and starlets there every night. It was faithfully reconstructed in the 1920s style. By invitation only.

Redjack --
ACPS - The automated crime prevention system, is a state of the art security system implemented by Horizon. It runs motion sensors, active scans for commlinks, body-temperature scans, and analyzes audio and video feeds for gunshots, weapons, or arguments that could lead to a physical altercation. PuebSec has increased their response time dramatically, often arriving before the first shot is fired.

I am looking for Neuro Stun & Gamma Scopolamine or something like them from Meg.

Summoning Guardian Spirit at Force 5:
Magic(5) + Conjuring(4) + Power Focus(2) = 11d6 for 5 hits.

Spirit's Opposed Test:
Force(5) = 5d6 for 3 hits.

Two net hits for two services.

Spirit Stats: "Tlacelel"

Resisting drain: 2x3 for 6
Willpower(6) + Charisma(5) + Focused Conc(1) = 12d6 for 4 + no hits. I rolled them separately because I am dumb and forgot that I have 12 dice to throw at resisting drain. x_x So the trauma dampener eats one box of stun and I'm rockin' the other. Uetz is putting the spirit on standby.

Casting Increased Reflexes at Force 2 through my sustaining focus:
Magic(5) + Conjuring(4) + Power Focus(2) - Stun(1) = 10d6 for 3 hits, but only 2 count. I'm at +1/+1 to Init and IP. (Edit: I ended up rolling the wrong amount of dice twice for this one x_x)

Resisting drain: (2/2)+2 for 3:
Willpower(6) + Charisma(5) + Focused Conc(1) = 12d6 for 3 hits.

Healing stun:
Body(4) + Willpower(6) = 10d6 for 4 hits. The stun will be gone in an hour.

Attempting to get in touch with my talismonger:
Connections(4): Rolled a 6.

Uetz is going to see if his talismonger (Guillermo de la Cruz) has any potential info on jobs and also if he has any leads on a Force 4 sustaining focus (manipulation). Might as well find a way to maintain my shapes without having to sustain them.

Just posting to keep us current - going to kick Fenris in the butt to start doing the leader thing and send us somewhere to do something.

Heh, I'm fine. If we have another down day, I might start working on putting together an arcane formula for turning Quauhtli into an ally spirit.

Leaving for Gen Con tomorrow. May be a week before you hear from me.

Have fun Redjack!

All--It looks like all of the data search and oracle data has been spread to the team (except D'zan). Uetz is staying to read while Papa goes shopping. Argent is going to the casino to talk his way in. D'zan is at the house. Is there any other legwork being done on any of the locations, beyond knowledge skills?

Buddha--Let me know if you are going with Argent or staying home.

Fenris--What's the plan for getting in?

Oops, I thought Guillermo had already hung up on me.

Sorry for the late reply but going with Argent.

BishopMQ - Going to task 'Janice', (rating 6 agent) to track down ID's on anyone seen entering or exiting clubs. I assume screamsheets that cover mover's and shakers, maybe vid crews, someone's watching and recording who's going in and out. I'm hoping to find someone in Horizon high enough up the line that I know has an invite that I can claim to be a minion far enough down the line that the person's actual office couldn't be expected to know about me, here to retrieve something from the library that I only have a partial description for. I'm hoping this will get me in the door (with a little bit of Con tossed in ) and give me a reason for poking around the library a bit and not immediately grabbing an item.

I've got Browse 6 and Janice is rating 6. What should I roll, and how many times?

Starting to draft a Force 5 Ally Spirit formula for my Animal Twin: 25 successes needed.

Day 1:
Logic(3) + Arcana(3) = 6d6 for 2 hits.

This is probably going to take some time based on what the group's plan is, but that's cool. I'm still gathering the needed karma.

Fenris--It's a Data Search extended test for somewhat private information. 12 hits will get you a name, each 12 after that will get you information about the person's activities inside the casino.

Just giving the OOC a bump. I'd do something IC, but I think I'm done for the day with my ally spirit formula roll.

Okay, so forgot each roll had to minus a dice, so rolled my first four all at once. I'll just keep the first roll and re-roll the rest:

Janice(6) + Browse(6) (12d6.hits(5)=6 (Total = 6)
Minus 1 (11d6.hits(5)=4) (Total = 10)
Minus 2 (10d6.hits(5)=4) (Total = 14)
Minus 3 (9d6.hits(5)=3) (Total = 17)
Minus 4 (8d6.hits(5)=3) (Total = 20)
Minus 5 (7d6.hits(5)=2) (Total = 22)
Minus 6 (6d6.hits(5)=3) (Total = 24)

Alright, serve it up!

Fenris--Jason Phillips, Marketing group project liaison to Special Projects. He's an avid baccarat player whose token has a phoenix on it.

As you can see we're back but still struggling under the load of things to do here at home to catch up for the week away but will post tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

Summoning a Force 6 Spirit of Air - going to center for the drain.

Conjuring + Magic
11d6.hits(5)=6

Just need a roll for the spirit please.

Buddha--2 hits from the Spirit.

Hacking Cab: Security Access (stealth = R6)
[6,4,4,5,5,3,4,2,2,5,2,1,2,3] = 4 hits
[5,2,3,6,3,6,5,2,5,6,2,4,2] = 6 hits (10 cumulative)

Edit Video Feed: [2,2,6,2,1,1,2,3,6,3,5,2] = 3 hits
Edit Access/Security Logs: [1,6,3,2,2,6,4,6,2,4,6,4] = 4 hits
Spoof a new Access ID: [4,2,5,4,2,1,5,3,1,5] = 3 hits

Drain 4 hits
13d6.hits(5)=4

I am giving the spirit the optional powers of Fear and Noxious Breath.

Alright, Horizon info to muster up whatever I think will help me slip past the door here, including info on Jason if I can swing it.

Horizon Employees:
Horizon Employees(3) + Intuition(4) (7d6.hits(5)=3)

Disguise:
Disguise(2) + Facial Sculpt(2) + Intuition(4) (8d6.hits(5)=2)

Buddha/Fenris--Perception Visual please.

Redjack--Air Taxi is about 10 min. Ground traffic is about 40 min.
